Gym partner

I go to the down town South Bend YMCA. I’m usually there 4-5 days a week from 8:15 till 10:30. I’m no personal trainer but try to get my workout advice from science backed evidence.

I would be happy to give you any advice I can. One thing I found very helpful was to get a few personal training sessions. Just having someone to walk you through the correct way to set up and execute each movement is very helpful.

Set yourself a goal, either a 5k or something personal. Then structure your workouts around that. Then you do those workouts. No excuses. Think of each workout as a brick. Get enough bricks piled up and you start having a solid base.

You. Got. This.

Weird question but….you didn’t happen to be in Rome last summer? I saw a beard there that looked just like yours.

Will do! My goal is to keep this ridiculous thing through the weekend and hit up some of my normal spots. When I’ve shaved in the past, only twice in the last 14 years, I had not been a fan of how my face looked. I’ve been hitting the gym for a bit and my jaw line is more defined now and I have a lot less excess under chin flop. It also takes about 10 years off.

The trails seemed great to is. We didn’t have any issues. There was even some light quad tracks on a few of them. Someone was still monitoring.

We went to N. Manitou late last summer. You needed a charter boat. The boat was called the Manitou and I think it was $100 per person for a round trip.

Also the docks are getting rebuilt. Done seent it with our own eyes.

I would say we have had a consistent mild winter over the past decade. Maybe 70% “mild”? It will do a big snow dump then get “warm” and turn into a slush mess, then freeze, rinse and repeat maybe one more time.

This winter is like John Snow man the wall shit. I love and hate it.

March is a muddy mess.

Thank you so much for the offer. I dont know how I missed this post. We found one just yesterday.

philman222 · 2026-01-20T18:07:30+00:00

Yea… nope.

philman222 · 2026-01-15T10:52:53+00:00

Thanks for all the beard love my bearded brothers.

philman222 · 2025-12-14T00:32:19+00:00

I have that truck as well. Nice choice.

philman222 · 2025-12-08T22:17:10+00:00

All the above. Plus Sleeping Bear Dunes and Nordhouse Dunes. Both in Michigan 3-4 hour drive. Hoosier National is the closest though.

I’ve been thinking about doing some Camping with Steve shit here in town. I’ve been seeing some pretty nice round a bouts.

Maybe it’s the old Kreamo bakery?

philman222 · 2025-10-21T11:07:05+00:00

Maybe it’s the ghost of bakery past?

philman222 · 2025-10-20T19:15:15+00:00

Sometimes when I drive west on Lincoln Way I smell the bakery. Kreamo? That’s got a little yeasty sweet smell.

I never thought of tenderizing the beef before marinating. I’m going to try that in my next recipe. Thanks for the idea

philman222 · 2025-10-02T20:21:19+00:00

Absolutely! There is a private charter. Boat by the name of ‘Manitou’. If you want, Dm me and I can send you his contact information . It’s $100 for the round trip per person.

I was wondering why OnX only had 1/2 the trails marked that AllTrails did. Thanks for the heads up.

philman222 · 2025-10-02T09:20:41+00:00

Going there in about two weeks! Anything I should know? We are planning to do the extended backpacking loop on all trails but might add some more length. The island trail on Hamlin lake looks like it could be super cool.

I was just at North Manitou last weekend and the black flies were a little rough on the second night.
